The Oklahoma History Center, opened in time for the Oklahoma centennial of statehood, sits opposite the Oklahoma State Capitol. It contains a large collection of native art, artifacts of pioneer settlers & Oklahoma life in general. The rotunda of the museum features the Lockheed Vega 5-C "Winnie Mae" in which aviator Wiley Post set two round-the-world records in 1931 & 1933.
